I was previously using ELK 6.7.1 with searchguard. I've uninstalled the searchguard plugins and upgraded the ELK RPMs to 7.2. Elasticsearch seems to be up and running but Kibana will not start. I keep getting this error and can't find any relief from the internet.
{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-07-12T19:20:06Z","tags":["fatal","root"],"pid":28020,"message":"{ ValidationError: child \"kibana\" fails because [\"kibana\" must be an object]\n at Object.exports.process (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/errors.js:196:19)\n at internals.Object._validateWithOptions (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/any/index.js:675:31)\n at module.exports.internals.Any.root.validate (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/index.js:146:23)\n at Config._commit (/usr/share/kibana/src/legacy/server/config/config.js:132:34)\n at Config.set (/usr/share/kibana/src/legacy/server/config/config.js:102:10)\n at Config.extendSchema (/usr/share/kibana/src/legacy/server/config/config.js:74:10)\n at extendConfigService (/usr/share/kibana/src/legacy/plugin_discovery/plugin_config/extend_config_service.js:45:10) name: 'ValidationError' }"}
It wouldn't let me include the config in the original post so here it is.
Here's my config file:

No, but I did look at the Upgrade Assistant in Kibana and there were no issues identified. I'm not exactly sure what this was but I ended up uninstalling kibana and manually removing the files and directories left over (/usr/share/kibana /etc/kibana /var/lib/kibana /etc/default/kibana /etc/init.d/kibana /etc/systemd/system/kibana.service). After reinstall it worked fine. Based on the results it's my assumption that there were remnants of searchguard or version 6 configurations.
